Can You Recommend A Gluten Free Cold Cereal

I have tried eating the gluten free Rice Chex with no luck :(. I used almond milk with it. I even tried eating the cereal dry to see if it was the almond milk - same reaction - upset stomach - diarrhea. Are there any cold cereal gluten free alternatives that are easier to digest?

Thanks!

EnviroKids makes a line of cereals. They have something similar to rice krispies, something sort of like kix I think...worth checking out. They have fun animals on the box and are marketed for children but they're still yummy, just expensive.

I think Kix is also newly gluten free, but I don't know how safe they are from CC. Just a rumor I heard.

I cant tolerate boxed cold cereals so ,,

I make a porridge of rice , I eat it warm or cold

take 1/2 cup white rice (brown rice can be used just increase cooking time to 75 mins)

4 cups of water

cook for about 45 mins

stir in sweetener while still warm

can be served hot or cold , with whatever sweetener and/ or milk you prefer

I love the corn Chex, Nature's Path Mesa Sunrise, and Nature's Path Organic Whole O's. I don;t have issues with any of them.

We have multiple avoidances besides gluten and we eat lots of cold cereals. Enjoy Life Crunchy Rice or Crunchy Flax are good. There are a couple Bakery on Main granolas I like, but I like them better dry. I think Arrowhead Mills Maple Buckwheat Flakes are my favorite. I can't remember the brand (might be Barbara's?), but we buy Puffins sometimes and I get Natures Path Mesa Sunrise in big bags. We buy one of the Erewon puffed rice cereals, but I can't remember which kind without the box and we are out of that one right now. We used to buy EnviroKids Koala Crisp, which is like a chocolate rice krispie, but they are too sweet for me and my daughter started getting a stomach ache from them so we quit buying them. Her favorite is Cinnamon Chex right now and doesn't have any problems with them.

If one doesn't work, you just have to move on to another kind and try that. What is tolerated by any one of us might not be tolerated by your system. Good luck in your search!

I really like Glutino's Sensible Beginnings.

They are made in a dedicated gluten-free facility--which might make a difference for you.

i think the brand is called bakery on main, they come in small packages and are a bit pricey (but what isn't?). it is like a granola cereal. it's sooooo yummie! comes in a few different kinds. nuts, cranberry's, dried fruit. i like to warm it up. sooooooo gooooood!!!! alos, udi's makes a DELISH gluten-free granola!!!!

some people don't do well with them, but i enjoy fruity and cocoa pebbles every once in a while.

I just picked up a box of Erewhon Organic Rice Twice Cereal from Sprouts yesterday. It was on sale - 2/$7.00. I can't do milk, so I eat it dry at work for breakfast. It was delicious. It is gluten free and Kosher. Excellent taste.

Are there any gluten-free cold cereals with a lot of fiber? I'm coming from the All Bran 13g of fiber per cup world, and am finding cereal one of the toughest things to replace.

I went to Whole Foods and bought some Envirokids Cereal Koala Crisp cereal - and I love it! What's nice too - the pieces are small and significantly easier to digest. I also bought a box of a brand called Erewhon strawberry crisp cereal - which I haven't tried yet - but am hoping it's as good as the Evnirokids brand.

Thanks so much for the suggestions! I seem to do better on the Envirokids Cereal than I did on Chex.

The only cold cereal my wife will eat is Fruity Pebbles. She won't eat the Chex stuff because it is to plain I guess.

Gorilla Munch is my favorite, and if I'm having a child-at-heart moment, I pick up some Fruity Pebbles. :)

      Hey there, have you been tested for allergies? You may not only have celiac disease but be allergic. I have celiac disease and am allergic to Barley, wheat and rye.

      I have osteopenia and have cracked three vertebrae.  Niacin is connected to osteoporosis! Do talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing with B vitamins.  Blood tests don't reveal the amount of vitamins stored inside cells.  The blood is a transportation system and can reflect vitamins absorbed from food eaten in the previous twenty-four to forty-eight hours.  Those "normal limits" are based on minimum amounts required to prevent disease, not levels for optimal health.   Keep us posted on your progress.   B Vitamins: Functions and Uses in Medicine https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9662251/ Association of dietary niacin intake with osteoporosis in the postmenopausal women in the US: NHANES 2007–2018 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11835798/ Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/   Nutritional Imbalances in Adult Celiac Patients Following a Gluten-Free Diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8398893/ Nutritional Consequences of Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free Diet https://www.mdpi.com/2036-7422/15/4/61 Simplifying the B Complex: How Vitamins B6 and B9 Modulate One Carbon Metabolism in Cancer and Beyond https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9609401/

      Thank you so much for the clarification! Yes to these questions: Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, or vitamins? I’m within healthy range for nutritional tests, thyroid and am not anemic. I do have osteopenia. I don’t take any medications, and the dietician was actually a nutritionist (not sure if that is the same thing) recommended by my physician at the time to better understand gluten free eating.    I almost wish the gluten exposure had triggered something, so at least I’d know what’s going on. So confusing!    Many thanks!

      @JudyLou,  I have dermatitis herpetiformis, too!  And...big drum roll... Niacin improves dermatitis herpetiformis!   Niacin is very important to skin health and intestinal health.   You're correct.  dermatitis herpetiformis usually occurs on extensor muscles, but dermatitis herpetiformis is also pressure sensitive, so blisters can form where clothing puts pressure on the skin. Elastic waist bands, bulky seams on clothing, watch bands, hats.  Rolled up sleeves or my purse hanging on my arm would make me break out on the insides of my elbows.  I have had a blister on my finger where my pen rested as I write.  Foods high in Iodine can cause an outbreak and exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. You've been on the gluten free diet for a long time.  Our gluten free diet can be low in vitamins and minerals, especially if processed gluten free foods are consumed.  Those aren't fortified with vitamins like gluten containing products are.  Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, medicine, or vitamins? Niacin deficiency is connected to anemia.  Anemia can cause false negatives on tTg IgA tests.  A person can be on that borderline where symptoms wax and wane for years, surviving, but not thriving.  We have a higher metabolic need for more nutrients when we're sick or emotionally stressed which can deplete the small amount of vitamins we can store in our bodies and symptoms reappear.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards. The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.    Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.   However, another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.   I recommend getting checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  More than just Vitamin D and B12.  A gluten challenge would definitely be a stressor capable of precipitating further vitamin deficiencies and health consequences.   Best wishes!
